SACP statement on the Gauteng High Court judgment granting parole the unrepentant murderer Janusz Waluś who killed our former General Secretary Comrade Chris Hani
SACP STATEMENT, 10 MARCH 2015
The South African Communist Party (SACP) is gravely disappointed and appalled at the Gauteng North High Court’s judgement effectively releasing from prison on parole the unrepentant murderer, Janusz Waluś who pulled the trigger killing our former General Secretary Comrade Chris Hani on 10 April 1993.
During the proceedings at the Court on 2 March, Judge Nicoline Janse Van Nieuwenhuizen made biased remarks suggesting that it was time to forget and move on and that the murderer must be treated with compassion, as if his killing of Hani was compassionate.
The SACP and the family of the late Comrade Chris Hani took serious exception of the biased comments which indicated to us that possibly the Judge had predetermined views about the matter in favour of the unrepentant murderer.
